## Features

The [&lt;input type="color"&gt;](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/color) HTML element
can be used to build a color picker, however it is very inconsistent across browsers and operating systems and consists
of a complete color picker rather than only a hue color wheel. `useColorWheel` helps achieve accessible and
touch-friendly color wheels that can be styled as needed.

* **Customizable** – Support for adjusting the hue of an HSL or HSB color value, with customizable radius and track thickness.
* **High quality interactions** – Mouse, touch, and keyboard input is supported via the [useMove](../react-aria/useMove.html) hook. Pressing the track moves the thumb to that position. Text selection and touch scrolling are prevented while dragging.
* **Accessible** – Announces localized hue descriptions for screen reader users (e.g. "cyan blue"). Uses a visually hidden `<input>` element for mobile screen reader support and HTML form integration.

## Anatomy

<Anatomy
  role="img"
  aria-label="Color wheel anatomy diagram: Shows a color wheel component with labels pointing to its parts, including the track, and thumb elements." />

A color wheel consists of a circular track and a thumb that the user can drag to change the color hue.
A visually hidden `<input>` element is used to represent the value to assistive technologies.

```tsx
import {ColorWheel, ColorWheelTrack, ColorThumb} from 'react-aria-components';

<ColorWheel>
  <ColorWheelTrack />
  <ColorThumb />
</ColorWheel>
```

## Starter kits

To help kick-start your project, we offer starter kits that include example implementations of all React Aria components with various styling solutions. All components are fully styled, including support for dark mode, high contrast mode, and all UI states. Each starter comes with a pre-configured [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/) that you can experiment with, or use as a starting point for your own component library.

<StarterKits component="colorwheel" />

## Reusable wrappers

If you will use a ColorWheel in multiple places in your app, you can wrap all of the pieces into a reusable component. This way, the DOM structure, styling code, and other logic are defined in a single place and reused everywhere to ensure consistency.

```tsx example export=true
import type {ColorWheelProps} from 'react-aria-components';

interface MyColorWheelProps extends Omit<ColorWheelProps, 'outerRadius' | 'innerRadius'> {}

export function MyColorWheel(props: MyColorWheelProps) {
  return (
    <ColorWheel {...props} outerRadius={100} innerRadius={74}>
      <ColorWheelTrack />
      <ColorThumb />
    </ColorWheel>
  );
}

<MyColorWheel defaultValue="hsl(30, 100%, 50%)" />
```

## Value

A ColorWheel's `value` specifies the position of the ColorWheel's thumb on the track, and accepts a string or <TypeLink links={docs.links} type={docs.exports.Color} /> object.

### Uncontrolled

By default, `ColorWheel` is uncontrolled with a default value of red (hue = 0˚). You can change the
default value using the `defaultValue` prop.

```tsx example
<MyColorWheel defaultValue="hsl(80, 100%, 50%)" />
```

### Controlled

A `ColorWheel` can be made controlled using the `value` prop. The <TypeLink links={docs.links} type={docs.exports.parseColor} />
function is used to parse the initial color from an HSL string, stored in state. The `onChange` prop
is used to update the value in state when the user drags the thumb.

```tsx example
import {parseColor} from 'react-aria-components';

function Example() {
  let [color, setColor] = React.useState(parseColor('hsl(0, 100%, 50%)'));
  return (
    <>
      <MyColorWheel value={color} onChange={setColor} />
      <p>Current color value: {color.toString('hsl')}</p>
    </>
  );
}
```

### HTML forms

ColorWheel supports the `name` prop for integration with HTML forms. The value will be submitted as a number between 0 and 360 degrees.

```tsx example
<MyColorWheel name="hue" />
```

## Events

ColorWheel supports two events: `onChange` and `onChangeEnd`. `onChange` is triggered whenever the ColorWheel's handle is dragged, and `onChangeEnd`
is triggered when the user stops dragging the handle. Both events receive a <TypeLink links={docs.links} type={docs.exports.Color} /> object
as a parameter.

The example below uses `onChange` and `onChangeEnd` to update two separate elements with the ColorWheel's value.

```tsx example
function Example() {
  let [currentValue, setCurrentValue] = React.useState(parseColor('hsl(50, 100%, 50%)'));
  let [finalValue, setFinalValue] = React.useState(currentValue);

  return (
    <div>
      <MyColorWheel
        value={currentValue}
        onChange={setCurrentValue}
        onChangeEnd={setFinalValue}
      />
      <p>Current value: {currentValue.toString('hsl')}</p>
      <p>Final value: {finalValue.toString('hsl')}</p>
    </div>
  );
}
```

## Disabled

A `ColorWheel` can be disabled using the `isDisabled` prop. This prevents the thumb from being focused or dragged. It's up to you to style your color wheel to appear disabled accordingly.

```tsx example
<MyColorWheel defaultValue="hsl(80, 100%, 50%)" isDisabled />
```

<details>
  <summary style={{fontWeight: 'bold'}}><ChevronRight size="S" /> Show CSS</summary>

```css
.react-aria-ColorWheel {
  &[data-disabled] {
    .react-aria-ColorWheelTrack {
      background: gray !important;
    }

    .react-aria-ColorThumb {
      background: gray !important;
      opacity: 0.5;
    }
  }
}
```

</details>

## Labeling

By default, a localized string for the "hue" channel name is used as the `aria-label` for the ColorWheel. If you wish to override this with a more specific label, an `aria-label` or
`aria-labelledby` prop may be passed to further identify the element to assistive technologies.

For example, for a ColorArea that adjusts a background color you might pass the `aria-label` prop, "Background color". If you provide your own `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby`, be sure to localize the string appropriately.

```tsx example
<div style={{display: 'flex', gap: 8, alignItems: 'end', flexWrap: 'wrap'}}>
  <MyColorWheel
    /*- begin highlight -*/
    aria-label="Background color"
    /*- end highlight -*/
    defaultValue="hsl(0, 100%, 50%)" />
  <div>
    {/*- begin highlight -*/}
    <label id="hsl-aria-labelledby-id">Background color</label>
    {/*- end highlight -*/}
    <MyColorWheel
      /*- begin highlight -*/
      aria-labelledby="hsl-aria-labelledby-id"
      /*- end highlight -*/
      defaultValue="hsl(0, 100%, 50%)" />
  </div>
</div>
```

### Accessibility

The `aria-valuetext` of the `<input>` element is formatted according to the user's locale automatically. It also includes a localized description of the selected color hue (e.g. "cyan blue").

## Props

### ColorWheel

<PropTable component={docs.exports.ColorWheel} links={docs.links} />

### ColorWheelTrack

The `<ColorWheelTrack>` component renders a circular gradient representing the colors that can be selected for the color channel.

<details>
  <summary style={{fontWeight: 'bold'}}><ChevronRight size="S" /> Show props</summary>

<PropTable component={docs.exports.ColorWheelTrack} links={docs.links} />

</details>

### ColorThumb

The `<ColorThumb>` component renders a draggable thumb with a preview of the selected color.

<details>
  <summary style={{fontWeight: 'bold'}}><ChevronRight size="S" /> Show props</summary>

<PropTable component={docs.exports.ColorThumb} links={docs.links} />

</details>

## Styling

React Aria components can be styled in many ways, including using CSS classes, inline styles, utility classes (e.g. Tailwind), CSS-in-JS (e.g. Styled Components), etc. By default, all components include a builtin `className` attribute which can be targeted using CSS selectors. These follow the `react-aria-ComponentName` naming convention.

```css
.react-aria-ColorWheel {
  /* ... */
}
```

A custom `className` can also be specified on any component. This overrides the default `className` provided by React Aria with your own.

```jsx
<ColorWheel className="my-color-wheel">
  {/* ... */}
</ColorWheel>
```

In addition, some components support multiple UI states (e.g. focused, placeholder, readonly, etc.). React Aria components expose states using data attributes, which you can target in CSS selectors. For example:

```css
.react-aria-ColorThumb[data-dragging] {
  /* ... */
}

.react-aria-ColorThumb[data-focused] {
  /* ... */
}
```

The `className` and `style` props also accept functions which receive states for styling. This lets you dynamically determine the classes or styles to apply, which is useful when using utility CSS libraries like [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/).

```jsx
<ColorThumb className={({isDragging}) => isDragging ? 'scale-150' : 'scale-100'} />
```

The states, selectors, and render props for each component used in a `ColorWheel` are documented below.

### ColorWheel

The `ColorWheel` component can be targeted with the `.react-aria-ColorWheel` CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom `className`. It supports the following states:

<StateTable properties={docs.exports.ColorWheelRenderProps.properties} />

### ColorWheelTrack

The `ColorWheelTrack` component can be targeted with the `.react-aria-ColorWheelTrack` CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom `className`. It supports the following states:

<StateTable properties={docs.exports.ColorWheelTrackRenderProps.properties} />

### ColorThumb

The `ColorThumb` component can be targeted with the `.react-aria-ColorThumb` CSS selector, or by overriding with a custom `className`. It supports the following states:

<StateTable properties={docs.exports.ColorThumbRenderProps.properties} />

## Advanced customization

### Contexts

All React Aria Components export a corresponding context that can be used to send props to them from a parent element. This enables you to build your own compositional APIs similar to those found in React Aria Components itself. You can send any prop or ref via context that you could pass to the corresponding component. The local props and ref on the component are merged with the ones passed via context, with the local props taking precedence (following the rules documented in [mergeProps](mergeProps.html)).

<ContextTable components={['ColorWheel']} docs={docs} />

This example shows a `ColorWheelDescription` component that accepts a color wheel in its children and renders a description element below it. It uses the [useId](useId.html) hook to generate a unique id for the description, and associates it with the color wheel via the `aria-describedby` attribute passed to the `ColorWheelContext` provider.

```tsx example
import {ColorWheelContext} from 'react-aria-components';
import {useId} from 'react-aria';

interface ColorWheelDescriptionProps {
  children?: React.ReactNode,
  description?: string
}

function ColorWheelDescription({children, description}: ColorWheelDescriptionProps) {
  let descriptionId = useId();
  return (
    <div>
      {/*- begin highlight -*/}
      <ColorWheelContext.Provider value={{'aria-describedby': descriptionId}}>
      {/*- end highlight -*/}
        {children}
      </ColorWheelContext.Provider>
      <small id={descriptionId}>{description}</small>
    </div>
  );
}

<ColorWheelDescription description="Choose a background color for your profile.">
  <MyColorWheel />
</ColorWheelDescription>
```

### State

ColorWheel provides a <TypeLink links={statelyDocs.links} type={statelyDocs.exports.ColorWheelState} /> object to its children via `ColorWheelStateContext`. This can be used to access and manipulate the color wheel's state.

This example shows a `HueField` component that can be placed within a `ColorWheel` to allow the user to enter a number and update the hue.

```tsx example
import {ColorWheelStateContext, NumberField, Input, useLocale} from 'react-aria-components';

function HueField() {
  /*- begin highlight -*/
  let state = React.useContext(ColorWheelStateContext)!;
  /*- end highlight -*/
  let {locale} = useLocale();
  return (
    <NumberField
      aria-label={state.value.getChannelName('hue', locale)}
      value={state.value.getChannelValue('hue')}
      onChange={v => state.setValue(state.value.withChannelValue('hue', v))}
      formatOptions={state.value.getChannelFormatOptions('hue')}>
      <Input />
    </NumberField>
  );
}

<ColorWheel outerRadius={100} innerRadius={74}>
  <ColorWheelTrack />
  <ColorThumb />
  {/*- begin highlight -*/}
  <HueField />
  {/*- end highlight -*/}
</ColorWheel>
```

```

### Hooks

If you need to customize things even further, such as accessing internal state or customizing DOM structure, you can drop down to the lower level Hook-based API. See [useColorWheel](useColorWheel.html) for more details.
